Basically I cannot go back more than 6 days...
According to the POSIX/glibc definition of TZ:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html
http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html
the hour offset must be between 0 and 24. In other words, the examples
above are undefined by the standards. Why are you trying to use TZ to
concoct multi-day offsets?
Cheers,
Phil
